Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Loved at Last, Vol. 1 of 3: A Story
The lights in many a far-off Window gleam out bright and cheerily, Shining as welcome land marks to the late sojourners in Hilltown, who have found the attractions of the White Horse on market nights more than usually seductive. Hilltown has legends of past importance, and the old court-house, now used as a grocer's warehouse, reminds some of the grey headed inhabitants of the time when the assizes were held therein, and when the Old town was awake from morn till eve for a Whole fortnight together. Now, it only rouses itself on market days, or at election times, but continues, somehow or the other, to maintain its place in the country with respectability and honour. There is an old college for poor men and women, founded-it is recorded over the principal entrance - by Queen Elizabeth, when on a Visit to Hilltown and the memory of this royal visit and its consequent benefaction has done much to keep the place.
